-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
In a white room with black cur-tains
-2 2 -1 -1
near the sta-tion.
-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
Black-roof coun-try, no gold pave-ments,
-2 2 -1 -1
Tir-ed star-lings.
-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
Sil-ver hors-es run down moon-beams
-2 2 -1 -1
in your dark eyes.
-6 6 -5 5 -5 3 3
Dawn-light smiles on your leav-ing,
-2 2 -1 -1
my con-tent-ment.
6 6 -6 7 -5
I’ll wait in this place
-5 6 -6 7 -6 6
where the sun nev-er shines;
6 -6 7 -5 -5 6 -6 -6
Wait in this place where the shad-ows
6 -5 5 -5
run from them-selves.

-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
You said no strings could se-cure you
-2 2 -1 -1
at the sta-tion.
-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
Plat-form tick-et, rest-less die-sels,
-2 2 -1 -1
Good-bye win-dows.
-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
I walked in-to such a sad time
-2 2 -1 -1
at the sta-tion.
-6 6 -5 -5 5 -5 3 3
As I walked out, felt my own need
-2 2 -1 -1
just be-gin-ning.
6 -6 -6 7 -5
I’ll wait in this queue
-5 6 -6 7 -6 6
when the trains come back;
6 -6 7 -5 -5 6 -6 -6
Lie with you where the shad-ows
6 -5 5 -5
run from them-selves.

-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
At the par-ty she was kind-ness
-2 2 -1 -1
in the hard crowd.
-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
Con-sol-a-tion from the old wound
-2 2 -1 -1
now for-got-ten.
-6 6 -5 -5 4 -4 3 3
Yel-low ti-gers crouched in jun-gles
-2 2 -1 -1
in her dark eyes.
-6 6 -5 -5 5 -5 3 3
She’s just dress-ing, good-bye win-dows,
-2 2 -1 -1
Tir-ed star-lings.
6 6 -6 7 -5
I’ll sleep in this place
-5 6 -6 7-6 6
with the lone-ly crowd;
6 -6 7 -5 -5 6 -6 -6
Lie in the dark where the shad-ows
6 -5 5 -5
run from them-selves.
-5 4 -3 3
Ah ah ah ah
-5 4 -3 3 3
Ah ah ah ah ah
